first trial

[With the announcement, the Champions are free to decide amongst themselves what order the groups leave in. Once that's done the process of teleporting is automatic and happens in the blink of an eye. Once second they're in the center of the cafeteria before a soft blue light surrounds them and then they're standing in the middle of a circle of podiums.

The room itself it the same shiny, chrome-covered atrocity as most of the rest of the ship save for the sections of floor that aren't the teleporter: those are thick clear glass that show nothing but empty space and stars beneath the Champions' feet. As for the podiums they're the same sort of garish chrome with a digital screen facing toward the center of the circle. The screens each have a name and title associated with a Champion written in green block letters, all save for Chloe Price, the Champion of Max Caulfield, Miki Naoki, the Champion Support and Chitose Karasuma, the Champion of Mediocrity. Theirs are a striking red and, floating above their podiums, are greyscale portraits framed in some kind of bold, mechanical-looking frame.

The Overseers are waiting when they all arrive, standing on a floating platform just high enough to be out of reach and back far enough toward a far wall to have a full view of the courtroom. Both are dressed well, Rox in a pressed grey dress jacket and skirt and Blaze in a black suit with the sleeves rolled up to expose his numerous tattoos.Rox is again the one who speaks up.]


Welcome, Champions, to the courtroom! Twenty of you have entered, but - in the best case scenario - only nineteen of you will leave. The goal here is to compile the evidence that you've gathered and figure out who the killer is. Once you think you have an answer, we'll call a vote where you'll use the podium in front of you to vote on the title of the Champion who you all agree has broken the peace. If you're correct, the culprit will be executed and the rest of you will be allowed to go back upstairs. If you're wrong, however, the killer goes free and the rest of you take the punishment in their place.

There's no time limit, but we reserve the right to call for a vote if things drag on too long. Now let the first trial begin!

[There's a lot to take in, here. A lot to marvel at. But all of that goes out the window once Rox starts to speak, as it usually does.

Karamatsu looks up to where the Overseers stand.]


...Punishment? What- what are you talking about, the rest taking punishment!? That was never mentioned!

[UM??]

The Overseers may add to the rules at any time. [Kaiba says it mechanically, and looks to his PIP. Then up at the Overseers.] This detail is not mentioned in the list of rules. You seem to neglect informing us of the details quite often. It puts the player in an unfair position to be punished for something they could not have known.

[Karamatsu grits his teeth, looking down at the podium in front of him. Sure, they could add to the rules, but how fair was this? Why should they be held responsible just because someone went on a killing spree last night?

In the end, he's too indignant to say anything, so he remains quiet for now, listening to the others.]

I mean I don’t think “fair” is anywhere near the point.
